Issues installing/building on OpenSuse Tumbleweed (sqlite3)
Author: megatuxCreated Jun 7, 2025Updated Jan 11, 2026
Hi, I use OpenSuse Tumbleweed and Ruby with Mise version manager. I'm having issues installing the gem, the building fails with a pkg-config issue. I noticed it is using sqlite3 gem version 1.7 but I also have installed version 2.6, that I think it is the latest. I forked the repository, build the gem and installed from local .gem file and seems to work fine. Any reason not to use the newer one?
